If anyone looking for a new phone has ATT, they are offering "free" upgrades to everyone. Normally it's only new customers and new lines. They did a similar offer when the iPhone 7 came out. I have 4 lines I can upgraded. I was debating if I wanted to do it (using the loyalty promo). But now it seems I can trade in my 15yo's 8Plus and get $800, so that covers the 12 she wants. The ex (we are still sharing a phone plan), might upgrade, and I'm seriously thinking about it as well. My XS is basically new, but the 12 pro would only cost me $300 if I do it now. I don't think I'll get a decent offer like that again for awhile. The bummer is, we're tied into the phones until they are paid off....ATT credits your bill monthly with these promos.
I figure, my 15yos has lasted 2 years. My XS made it 1.5 year and then Apple replaced it (IHG CC covered that). So as long as the deal w/ ATT is paid off in about 2 years, it might be worth it.
I wonder if my Staples will have any. They were 100% out last week. Grrrrr.
